Succumb to This - Cradle Of Filth

S, S, S, Succumb to this slicker genesis

The serpentine wish of a decadent stranger

This fixed insistence from a twisted out-of-mind

Succumb to this

He is scum to his kind

Slumming with the cast

Of his vast Imaginarium

Darkness come refined

Succumb to this wicked nemesis

The paralysis of hissing imminent danger

His kiss persistent, lips whisper his design

Numb with bliss, licked of menaces

This Philistine itch caught pissing in the manger

Is never distant from unresistent sides

Succumb to this

He will promise the earth

Laughing with the grasp

Of all past denominations

A master of rebirth

Flee demon flee

I cast thee out with the power invested

Please leave me be

My heart is a biblical wreck

Cease and just see

I rule this wide-eyed world unmolested

Increasing fantasies

With a wave of my hand

And high tides of turning freed

From the dizzying breeze of Quarantania

Beauty swoons in caresses of nature

Pleasures of the rooted flesh await her

The taste of heaven for endeavoring Men

To a greater measure of temptation’s folly

Lo!

the splendour of the throne

The feasting thread of best harvests

Picked clean off the bone

The shining kingdoms

Blent against red sunset skies

And everywhere the scent of better wonders

Set desires to fiery rise

Tonight

All the stars burning bright are but a canopy for me

A Cinderella story, stellar jealousies are rife

For my Prince holds a divine right

Enlightened with the glorious

Blind faith falls for the First Seduction

Induction into halls of shame

With classic joys and fresh allures

Life leads fantastic overtures

Indulge, only the coy abjure

This orgiastic ride

Sigh!

His smile’s just a laceration

With a fascination for the massing dark side

And he means war…

Succumb to this wicked nemesis

The paralysis of hissing imminent danger

His kiss persistent, lips whisper his design

Numb with bliss, licked of menaces

This Philistine itch caught pissing in the manger

Is never distant from his soul-corrupted prize

Succumb to this

He will show you miracles

Building on the fast

Iconoclastic innovations

Growing empirical

Succumb to this
